The Cabral Concept

Many of us set specific goals for what we want for ourselves and what we want to achieve.   But there is a distinction between setting short-term goals and envisioning the kind of person you want to become and the experiences you wish to explore in your lifetime.   So today I want to go through the difference between the two and give you my take on how you can incorporate both of these into your life.   Join me today’s #CabralConcept 2908 where we take a look at the concept of finite and infinite games and which one can help lead you to more happiness.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jilian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a strange question regarding my leg. I have a dent in my upper right quad that runs horizontally. It seems as if my quad muscle somehow split, however I have no clue why or how. I saw a doctor who said it’s not fatty tissue but appears to be my muscle. The dent is pretty noticeable but not painful. I noticed it sometime after having my first child but it either went away or was not as significant. But since having my second child it’s come back and more prominent. For reference I’m currently 10 months postpartum with my second and weight 125lbs (nearly pre pregnancy weight). My hormones according to a regular doctor test said everything looks fine, although I know in the past I’ve been told I have PCOS. Not sure what’s causing this dent.   Leila: Hi Dr. Cabral! I work as a nurse in the hospital and our hospital is implementing new badges that track us throughout the hospital. Our badges clip to our shirt and hang over our chest and it makes me wonder if we should be doing something to protect ourselves. Thanks!   Dacia: My aluminum number is 43 nickel 5.9 and cadmium is high too …I’ve been tested by a doctor and have been doing chelations Thru an IV for a year ….I’m completely broke because I have spent over $10K on these treatments…I need a protocol I can do at home …I have a red light therapy machine and a doctor grade ionic foot bath at home …very interested in what i can do with products to take internally …my quality of life is about a 3 out of a ten …very fatigued and flared up from Rheumatoid arthritis (or the heavy metals ) please help !!!! Thank you !!!!!   Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , I just finished listening to your podcast on glp meds . It scared me because I’m on them , Not for weight loss but for dysautonomia. My blood sugar was all over the place even with a Perfect diet , your detoxes , protocols , big 5 , working with a coach ect .. I did have improvements but still did not have much energy, stamina and alway dizzy as well as fight or flight. My functional Med Dr. Suggested Ozempic & then Mounjaro.

I don’t have one bad side effect. I have 1 to 3 bowl movements a day , I’m still hungry and eat. Why do you think this Med has worked so well for my dysauto.   Yvonne: Interested in trying ALA for blood glucose and neuralgia but have a few questions: (1) one site says do not take if you are taking thyroid medication, which I am - I take desiccated thyroid (2) warns that taking may cause harm due to mercury not being removed from the body and (3) if ok to take, what is daily dosage that works without harm and does it matter what type of ALA (type S or R)?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2907 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Stacy: For about 3 months now my throat feels like someone’s foot is on my neck, every time I eat or drink anything even drinking water cause this sensation. It started first with feeling nasal congestion when I ate laying down. But for over 1 month I was congested and I took many over the counter drugs and nothing helped. I went to an ENT and now symptoms are much better. However, my throat and head flared up and sometimes my ears feel congestion . I have some regurgitation but very little to no mucus. I don’t think it’s what I’m eating since I have been on an anti-inflammatory diet since Sept 1. The sensation starts when I feel hungry or after I eat or drink. I’ve tried protonix, omeprazole and H2 blockers was on it for about 6 weeks and felt even more pressure in my head.    Marcia: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please talk about what material of clothing is non-toxic and safest to wear? And would it be possible to list the worst offenders, that way I'll know which materials to absolutely avoid? Also, do you have any favorite non-toxic clothing brands? Thank you so much! Big fan of your content. Your book "The Rain Barrel Effect" should be required reading for everyone. It was such an eye opener for me.   Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, I recently have come off the anti anxiety pill effexor .35mg (been off it for about 3 months now) and I am finding I cannot wake up in the morning for the life of me. I set 12 alarms and still cannot get up, and it’s really messing with my life. I also never feel refreshed when I finally do end up waking up. I didn’t have this issue while being on that pill and am really struggling. Thanks for your help !   Erin: DNS question: i use this every morning as my breakfast. I have struggled over the years (and specifically more in the fall and i know it’s the environmental allergies in my area this time year)….struggle with high heart rate at night, extremely bloated stomach/gassy, and overall just feeling awful in the middle of the night. I ran out of my protein powder for over a week and this went away. As soon as i started it again, back these symptoms came. I have tested this multiple times now to comfirm. Is this the b vitamins? What is happening here…it is driving me crazy and i am desperate to figure out what is happening   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2906 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

It’s wintertime, and that means cold and flu season.   Many don’t know this, but most days when we go out into the world and especially with travel we are exposed to viruses – thankfully, our immune systems are strong and can fight off most invading pathogens.   I also think it is important to fully understand how we get sick in the first place and what measures we can take to help us recover faster if we do get sick.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2903, I want to go over a crash course on how we get sick and how we can stop winter colds in their tracks.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jenna: I experience vivid nightmares when taking melatonin. Why is that and is there any way to avoid it?   Grace: Hi Dr.Cabral, I am 25-year old female I have been taking my basal temperature every morning through Natural Cycles as a natural form of birth control. My temperature is always fluctuating between mid-96 to mid-97 degrees. I learned in level 1 this could be a sign of CNS. I don’t believe to have other symptoms of CNS. What tests would you recommend running as well as what symptoms to look for?   Katy: Hi Dr. Cabral - so appreciative of all you do and share! I heard you mention testing for parasites with the stool test, but am wondering are there other ways you can or should test to find them elsewhere in the body? I'm working on figuring out the root cause of my symptoms and am wondering if parasite could be a cause even though it showed up negative in a stool test (done with a separate functional medicine doctor). Also could parasites cause bloating if they are elsewhere (not in the gut) from the body? I have a lot of symptoms but serious bloating being one of them. Lastly, if I am unable to confirm with tests and just do the parasite protocol, would I assume I had parasites if I start to feel some of my symptoms improve? Thank you!   Elizabeth: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently heard an episode where you answered a question about eczema from swimming in hot tubs. That has been my experience my whole life, whether it’s brominated, chlorinated, or salt pools. I’ve always been a swimmer but had to give it up in my twenties when I finally realized my eczema was getting worse every swim season and would then take a few months to heal, just in time for the new swim season to start. Since quitting swimming I have fully healed, but recently I started drinking goats milk after being mostly dairy free for over 10 years and I got a horrible eczema reaction. My question is this: I read everywhere that goats milk heals eczema, but why do you think it is making mine worse? Could the culprit be my liver & will I ever be able to eat dairy? Thank you!!   Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on omega 3 oil from Calanus finmarchicus? I’ve found a product which I am curious to hear your thoughts on. Two pills contains the following: SDA 75 mg, EPA 73 mg, DHA 53 mg, Total omega 3 230 mg, Policosanol 263 mg, Ketolinic acid 29 mg, Astaxanthin 1700 ug and Vitamin D3 10ug. Could this be an alternative to "regular" omega 3 oil supplement? Thank you so much for you time and thoughts on this.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2900 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Taran: Hi Dr. Cabral! You are amazing and I truly appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the world. I was diagnosed with ichthyosis vulgaris when I was born. I have had very dry skin since birth. It was a lot worse when I was younger. It is much better, however would still be classified as very dry for a normal person. I have to regularly apply moisturizers on my entire body at least 2x daily. Thanks to your recommendation , I discovered my moisturizer was toxic (7 on ewg skin deep) I have 2 questions: 1. Can I do anything from the inside to heal my skin in the long run rather than relying on moisturizers? 2. What is the best for applying topically on skin? Oils? Moisturizers?   Aleisha: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for everything you do and your generosity and energy in this world. I know you don’t like to discuss specific brands on the podcast however I was wondering what your thoughts are on the ‘recovery’ formula from the ‘Osmosis Skincare’ Wellneas range. It says it can rebuild the fat pads lost with aging, I am 33 however due to a pretty intense health journey I have lost much of the volume in my fat pads and feel I look as if have aged dramatically and am considering giving this a go. The main basis of it is that it contains omegas 3,6,7 &9 from sea buckthorn fruit, oil & pulp and some macadamia oil. It is a very expensive product and the claim is that it takes 3 bottles to see changes and 7 bottles for best results. Is there an alternative to this you recommend?   Anouk: Hi there, Thanks for all the information you give out so generously. in July I tested pos. for ( ureaplasma, gardnerella, and candida alb) I took one round of doxy 7 days and a few months later I caught strep and re-tested for everything I still had the Urea +candida but I took clarithromycin for the strep. Of course all of these antibiotics were screwing up my vaginal microbiome.. I since have had a pap that came back HPV pos. ( LSIL) not sure if it the the stress of all of this but for the past few weeks i've had unbearable lower tailbone butt bone / pelvic floor aching and leg cramping, I can feel my vaginal muscles are almost in a permanent kegel and it's very hard to relax down there. Regardless of the pain i'd really like to do what I can to eradicate ALL of these things!   Glenn: What is the difference between caffeine and caffeine anhydrous as found in pre workout drinks and how bad is thus compound for the body. I’ve found info online on preworkouts and energy drinks but they all seem to revolve around the sugars/ artificial sweeteners in them rather than the other compounds. I enjoy taking these daily and found one that’s pretty clean and devoid of sugars so are these really that bad long term? Thank you   Noel: What is you opinion on cupping therapy? I am not talking about wet cupping but just regular cupping. I am a 67 year old female and like 50 lbs overweight so probably have metabolic syndrome so may be prone to heart issues, stroke. But I am most concerned about my kidneys. A few years back I was diagnosed with kidney failure, GFR was 11! Now it is over 60 for the last several years. I understand if there is toxic removal it would get removed through my kidneys ( and liver) and don’t want to overtax my kidneys. I am very active otherwise and don’t have any aches and pain anywhere. Would also love to minimize my cellulite.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2899 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
